Protecting the Wages of Tipped Workers
Regulation; Labour Rights
The General Assembly,
Aware that many workers internationally receive tips (and just the tip) for their service,
Noticing that many employers use this to cut down on wages,
Wishing to provide a stable income to these tipped workers,
Hereby:
- Defines:
- "tips" as remuneration by customers to a worker for the service of that worker to those customers, especially if it's normalized in a society to remunerate workers in certain industries for their services; and
- a "tipped worker" as a worker that receives tips.
- Declares that:
- No tipped worker shall have their wages reduced as a consequence of them receiving tips or being expected to receive tips; and
- No tipped worker shall have their wages fixed at a lower level than the wages of other non-tipped workers, as a consequence of their status as a tipped worker, if the jobs of that tipped worker and the other non-tipped worker have similar or identical qualifications.
